I have a question about slimline pens and pens that use the same transmission assembly.
Whenever I do slimlines the turning part I have no problem with and they finish out quite well. I have no problems there. My problem is I make a lot of slimlines and pens that have the slimline transmission that is pressed in. When you turn it the pen tip comes out of the assembled pen. It seems lately that I have had quite a few when all is said and done, meaning the pen is assembled then when I turn the top part of the pen it just keeps on
turning. Sometimes the tip does not come out or go back in. I have had quite a few come back after say a month to 3 months and they tell me the top just turns either way and either the pen tip won't come out or it won't go back in. Any suggestions or tips for something like this? I have gotten to the point that I don't even make them any more or pens that use the same transmission. I have no problems with cigars, Sierra, Wallstreets, El
Grandes, etc. It is just frustrating because I need pens in the lower price bracket and I have sold quite a few but it just seems like in the last 6 months or so I started having these troubles. I don't want to sell pens that are going to come back in 3 months or so. Thanks for any help or tips.
